Ambulance, Wreck Service Contracts Let For Turnpike
Contracts for ambulance and wrecker services have been signed with firms in eight major cities along the Kansas Turnpike, officials said Wednesday.
In the Lawrence area, ambulance service will be provided by the Funk-Cooper-Warren mortuary, and wrecker service by the Kaw Motor and Body Shop.
Two accidents have occurred on the turnpike since it opened Oct. 25. The first was on the opening day near Kansas City, Kan., when a car overturned after blowing a tire. The second accident occurred Sunday near Lawrence when two University students were injured after their car overturned on the turnpike center strip as they attempted to pass another car.
Following is a list of safety suggestions for turnpike motorists, taken from a recent insurance company booklet, "Expressway Driving is Different":
1. Remember that it takes longer to stop, pass or change direction in high-speed travel. Look far ahead for trouble.
2. Enter and leave the Twnipke with caution. Extra lanes are provided at entrances to permit motorists to gain speed before merging with the fast-moving traffic. Get ready to turn off while your exit is still far ahead; get into the right lane and signal the turn.
3. Choose your lane and stay with it except when necessary to change lanes in passing another vehicle. Weaving from lane to lane is dangerous.
4. Stay well behind the car ahead of you.
5. Drive smoothly at a steady speed so other drivers will know what to expect. Keep pace with the traffic—the minimum speed is 40 m.p.h.
6. If something happens to your car, get completely off the concrete travel slab and onto the asphalt parking lane to your right before stopping.

Tires Damaged On New Turnpike
During the first six days of Kansas Turnpike operation, 5,000 pounds of rubber torn off fires was picked up from the super highway, Gale Moss, director of the Turnpike Authority, told students and faculty members at the Faculty Forum Wednesday in the Student Union.
Experiments have shown that tires begin disintegrating when a car travels at 100 m.p.h. for 30 miles. Blacks marks of rubber are left on the road when a car travels at 100 m.p.h. for 70 miles.
"Kansas Turnpike authorities are deeply concerned about speed on the new highway. The greatest hazard is the driver who drives at a higher speed than his car's equipment can stand. The turnpike is engineered to be as safe as a road can be, but this will not prevent accidents due to defective materials." Mr. Moss said.

Champion Before, Champion Again
Harry Ghahramanian, Kansas City, Mo. senior, won the table tennis tournament Thursday in the Student Union Ballroom by defeating Victor Davis, Hutchinson senior, in a thrill-packed 40-minute match.
Heedless of the swarming crowd, the young reporter clutched her pencil and paper and moved with the surge toward the door. Spying her pad and pencil, the stage manager queried with a heavy accent, "Interview?" She nodded yes. He shook his head no!
At Least She Got In To See Europe's Great Conductor
Suddenly, the giant stage manager swung the door back with a flourish.
This victory for Ghahramanian was nothing new for him for he has won this tournament several times. The tournament was sponsored by the Student Union.
In one corner, several University students were experimenting with their newly-learned German phrases to a white-haired, ruddy-faced veteran. Others waited for Mr. von Karaian to appear.
Despite the refusal, the reporter entered the door and found herself staring into the eyes of Mr. von Karajan, "the foremost conductor of Europe."
By DONA SEACAT
(Of The Daily Kansas Staff)
Her assignment was to get an interview with Herbert von Karajan who is described as "Europe's foremost conductor," and she was using her elbows in a most-unladylike manner in order to be near the door when Mr. von Karajan stepped out.
An eager young girl reporter pushed and shoved her way through the impatient crowds that jammed the backstage wings following the concert by the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra last night.
The crowd became excited as 106 black-suited musicians mingled their German phrases with the English of their fans.
For one fearful moment, the reporter froze. Then, he smiled and his coolness became warm and friendly. The words were out: "Would Mr. von Karajan allow the reporter to interview him for The Daily Kansan?" His answer was kind, but firm: "No interview. We are much too exhausted and we must go on to Topeka. I'm sorry."

German Film Today In Hoch
"The Captain from Koepenick," which will be shown at 7:30 p.m. today in Hoch Auditorium, is the true story of Wilhelm Voigt, theobbler captain from Koepenick. His sensational one-man revolt against official stupidity and militarism in imperial Germany proved to be one of the biggest hoaxes in history.
His exploit hit the front pages of newspapers the world over and the film, released in 1932, has provided audiences with many laughs.
The Richard Oswald production,
a German language film with English titles, stars Max Adalbert as Wilhelm Voigt. The film won the New York Film Critics' First Prize in 1932.
Howard Walls, of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, describes it as "A tragi-comedy directed against all mankind where a uniform counts more than the men who salute it."
ID cards will admit KU students to this University Film Series presentaton.
